Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong – Ella and Louis (Analogue Productions 2011, Mono) (1956/2011) [SACD / Analogue Productions – CVRJ 4003 SA]

Title: Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong – Ella and Louis (Analogue Productions 2011, Mono) (1956/2011)
Genre: Jazz
Format: SACD ISO

Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound from the original master tapes to vinyl and PCM. The DSD was sourced from the PCM. George listened to all of the different A/D converters he had before he chose which to use, and he felt the George Massenburg GML 20 bit A/D produced the best and most synergistic sound for the project. The very fact that America’s biggest jazz label called one of their albums quite simply Ella and Louis indicates that we are talking about something very special here. And surely enough has been said – “Satchmo” and the grande dame of jazz certainly need no further introduction. In the ’50s just the mere mention of their forenames was enough to light up the eyes of jazz fans. A glance at the track list reveals that tranquility rules the day: wild stomps and improvised scats will neither be sought nor missed. Of prime importance to the jazz ballad is a feeling of “letting oneself drift” in the inspiration which gushes forth from the minds of genial American songwriters. This is no contest – for the artists all pursue a common goal with extreme sensitiveness. The background combo, made up of first-class musicians and led by Oscar Peterson, performs with great concentration and almost obtrusive unobtrusiveness. Verve’s highly successful producer Norman Granz decided quite deliberately to make the recording in the studio instead of at a live session. And success has verified his judgment, for such vocal jazz knows only gentle tones – but the result is all the more intensive for that. Originally released in 1956.

Elke Völker – Sigfrid Karg-Elert – Ultimate Organ Works Vol. 6 (2011) [SACD / Aeolus – AE-10721]

adminNovember 17, 2025 58 Views

Title: Elke Völker – Sigfrid Karg-Elert – Ultimate Organ Works Vol. 6 (2011)
Genre: Classical
Format: MCH SACD ISO

Volume 6 of Elke Völkers Karg-Elert series on Aeolus contains books no. 3 and 4 of the composer’s « Chorale-Improvisations » op.65 (based on chorals for new year, easter, ascension and pentecost). As often at Aeolus, an instrument has been chosen that has not yet been recorded on CD before: the E.F.Walcker organ of the Christ Church in Lüdenscheid, which has been restored very carefully and re-inaugurated in 2008. Today Elke Völker is considered – last but not least thanks to her series of Karg-Elert recordings on Aeolus – as an expert for his music. Her version of the chorale improvisation demonstrates skill and great respect for the work of this composer and thus can be considered as a reference.

Elke Völker – Sigfrid Karg-Elert – Ultimate Organ Works Vol. 4 (2008) [SACD / Aeolus – AE-10511]

adminNovember 17, 2025 62 Views

Title: Elke Völker – Sigfrid Karg-Elert – Ultimate Organ Works Vol. 4 (2008)
Genre: Classical
Format: MCH SACD ISO

Volume 4 of our Sigfrid Karg-Elert Edition contains an impressive collection of large scale secular organ works: Kaleidoscope, Seven Pastels from the Lake Constance, Rondo and Homage to Handel. As already on volume 3 (AE-10431) of this editon, the Georg Stahlhuth organ (1912) of Saint-Martin in Dudelange, restored by Thomas Jann in 2002, again is an ideal instrument for Karg-Elert’s music – and Elke Völker is absolutely in her element here. She found incredibly beautiful registrations (based on Karg-Elerts indications of course!), especially in the Seven Pastels from the Lake Constance. Kaleidoscope op.144 is a rather unknwon composition and can be considered as a brother of the big Symphonie in f sharp (op.143, recorded on Vol.1, AE-10121), because of some similarities in structure and harmonic language. The Seven Pastels are really close to the technical limits of the organ. The cycle is Karg-Elert’s only large-scale impressionistic composition and takes the expressive potential of the organ to its outer limits. Rondo alla campanella is a dazzling 169-bar Allegrissimo in 3/8 time, in semiquavers throughout like a french Toccata. Homage to Handel is a series of 54 variations on a ground bass of Handel. It’s a guide through all kinds of registrations of the wonderful Stahlhuth organ. This is the first time we recorded this instrument in surround sound and as far as we know the first available Super Audio CD of this organ! The recording comes along in a nice digipack format with 28 pages booklet.
